Agenda

Friday, June 12

09:00 am – 6 pm
DLD Health Conference Sessions at Literaturhaus Munich, Salvatorplatz 1

Key Themes

From Lab to Clinic
How can AI move from research into everyday clinical practice? Where does it create real value along the patient journey — and how can it relieve medical staff through decision support, automation, and AI agents?
Prevention & Longevity
How do we shift from treating disease to preventing it? How can AI drive earlier detection, better risk prediction, and continuous guidance — when health becomes a lifelong process spanning mental health, lifestyle, and longevity?
Quantified Self & the Empowered Patient
As wearables and continuous monitoring grow, how can data turn into actionable insights? Where do consumer and medical tools converge — and what does this mean for how people understand and manage their health?
Together, these themes connect scientific breakthroughs, practical applications, and societal implications — framing a forward-looking discussion on the future of being human in the age of AI.
